Why do I lie here like this
Paralyzed by the truth in your kiss
You think that I don't know there's someone else
I should get up and go, but I'm not feeling well
There's a slow poison inside of me
A slow poison, killing me by degrees
It's a strong potion, love and jealousy
Don't tell me it's all in my mind
I ain't gonna fall for that this time
I'm not really holding on, can't you see?
It's just when I'm feeling strong
Something brings me to my knees
There's a slow poison inside of me
A slow poison, killing me by degrees
It's a strong potion, love and jealousy
Please, please save me, say you don't love me
Sometimes the venom is the only remedy
Why do I lie here like this
Paralyzed by the truth in your kiss
You think that I don't know there's someone else

There's a slow poison inside of me
A slow poison, killing me by degrees
It's a strong potion, love and jealousy
Don't tell me it's all in my mind
I ain't gonna fall for that this time
I'm not really holding on, can't you see?
It's just when I'm feeling strong
Something brings me to my knees
There's a slow poison inside of me
A slow poison, killing me by degrees
It's a strong potion, love and jealousy
Please, please save me, say you don't love me
Sometimes the venom is the only remedy

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
